System back up on XP?

Question

What is the best way to back up files, folders, programs and system on my laptop thats operating on XP?

Answer 1

Back up (Copy & Paste) all your personal data to CD / DVD weekly or monthly. Won't fit? Get an external hard drive.

You don't need to back up Windows or commercial / downloaded programs, you either have them on disk already or you can download them again.

TIP: Keep all your personal data in one folder, like My Documents, and backups are a snap. Just remember to Export your Address Book, Favourites and Outlook express settings into My Docs first.

Hi..

You might want to check out Nero burns back it up.
It allows you to backup your hole drive as is and all info will be saved. You can back up some parts of your software as well.

If there is damage to your OS software like viruses then you can insert and boot from the backed up disk. The hole PC will be restored in half an hour where normal formatting, loading of OS, Driver install and software install may take up to 3 hours. Even more.

This software realy works for me.
